Hello everyone. I posted about a week ago for advice on breaking into an older PV+ to get to the desktop. (HERE) I found that I really can't get to the desktop and that I can navigate via the methods outlined in the previous hyperlinked post. Now, my 5.1 .mer file is data logging some tags from the PLC. This data log is being stored on the CF card inside the HMI unit itself. I need to either:
A) Transfer this data to a USB flash drive by running a scheduled .bat file
or
B) Transfer this data to a network drive location (which I'm not sure is entirely possible to configure the network drive on this HMI) by running a scheduled .bat file
There may be other ways to copy this data over besides running a .bat and if you know of other ways, I am all for it! The reason I want to run the .bat is that if the CF card (or USB if I had it writing directly there) is removed while the PLC is running, the data log will stop and not resume without a restart of the app (which I would like to avoid). Writing the .bat is simple enough, the problem is that I am not able to find a scheduler in this version of Windows CE. Frustratingly enough, this stripped back version barely lets me do anything. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated! If I didn't explain anything clearly enough let me know and I'll do my best to answer your questions.
Thank you!
